    Keeping Kosher in the U.S.A. The Harvard community has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters Citation Keeping Kosher in the U.S.A. (2002 Third Year Paper) Citable link http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:8852119 Terms of Use This article was downloaded from Harvard University’s DASH repository, and is made available under the terms and conditions applicable to Other Posted Material, as set forth at http:// nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:dash.current.terms-of- use#LAA Introduction Every waking moment should be governed by the laws of the Torah. Every action must accord with Torah principles. Torah law dictates which shoe one should put on first.1 There are also various laws relating to the bathroom.2 The Torah also teaches not only that one must pray three times a day, but also that the three prayers must each be recited during their respective specific time periods, as laid out by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.3 With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that the Torah regulates what a Jew may eat and drink. Upon completing one of its renditions of the Jewish dietary laws, the Torah states that Jews have an obligation ‘‘to distinguish,’’ or ‘‘l’havdil’’ (in the original Hebrew) ‘‘between the contaminated and the pure, and between the animal that may eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.’’4 Rashi5 explains that the obligation goes beyond merely reading through the Torah passages that discuss these laws; rather one must learn the laws until he knows them, recognizes them, and is an expert in them.6 It is with this in mind that I now begin to scratch the surface of the Jewish dietary laws.

  • Kashrut Standards Outlined Within It
    OUR KITCHEN CONGREGATION SHA’AREI SHALOM1 “You prepare a table before me” (Psalm 23:5) I. WHAT IS “KOSHER”? A. IN GENERAL The word “kosher” literally means “fit, appropriate, acceptable.” The noun form of the word, “kashrut,” has come to refer specifically to the dietary laws of Judaism that define which foods are acceptable for Jewish people to eat, and which foods are not. “Kosher” foods are considered acceptable for Jewish people to eat; “non-kosher” foods (in Yiddish, “treif”), are not considered acceptable for Jewish people to eat. B. IN THE TORAH The general definitions of which foods are kosher and which foods are not kosher are found in Leviticus 11, 17, and Deuteronomy 14. According to Leviticus 11, to be kosher: Land animals must have split hooves and chew the cud (cows, for example; see Lev 11:1-8) Poultry must fly and not be a bird of prey (chickens, for example; see Lev 11:13-19) Fish must have fins and scales (Salmon, for example; see Lev 11:9-12) Leviticus 17:13-14 says that the blood of a kosher animal must be drained out before the animal is eaten. Deuteronomy 14:21 says that animals that die on their own are not kosher, and adds that it is not permissible to boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. C. IN JEWISH LAW & PRACTICE Historically, the laws of kashrut have been taken very seriously within Jewish communities worldwide. At least three features of interpretation and application of the Torah’s teachings on kashrut stand out: 1 Drafted by Seth Klayman, February 2009.

  • Regulating Halal and Kosher Foods: Different Arrangements Between State, Industry and Religious Actors
    This article from Erasmus Law Review is published by Eleven international publishing and made available to anonieme bezoeker REGULATING HALAL AND KOSHER FOODS: DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN STATE, INDUSTRY AND RELIGIOUS ACTORS Tetty Havinga* Abstract The Netherlands, like other Western countries, is a growing market for halal food products, that is, food products that comply with Islamic food laws. Halal food is becoming more visible as Dutch supermarkets, hospitals and schools decide to include halal food in their supply. This development has been criticised by animal protectionists and people who fear the ‘Islamisation’ of Dutch society. In this article, the regulation of halal food in the Netherlands is compared to the regulation of kosher food in the Netherlands and the United States. I will analyse the division of roles between state actors, the food industry, certification agencies and religious authorities in these regulatory arrangements. Contrary to expectation, the regulatory arrangements are rather state-centred in several US states (liberal market economy), whereas the Dutch corporatist welfare state plays a limited role by allowing religious slaughter and leaving the issue of halal and kosher certification entirely to commercial and religious organisations. 1 The Developing Supply of Halal Foods In 2006, the Dutch supermarket chain Albert Heijn introduced halal meat products in some of its shops to better serve Muslim customers. Immediately, animal rights organisations protested strongly against the selling of meat from

  • Kosher Guidelines Manual VEGETABLES
    Houston Kashruth Association : Kosher Guidelines Manual This manual serves as an addendum to all client contracts and is a reflection of HKA policies. It must be stated once again that all ingredients and food products must be pre approved by an HKA rabbinic Supervisor and the fact that the guidelines may declare that the item is acceptable does not supersede the need for rabbinic approval. VEGETABLES 1. Artichokes - Fresh, frozen and canned artichokes are not to be used without reliable hashgacha with the exception of artichoke bottoms. All artichoke bottoms are permissible when packed in water, with exception of canned product from China. 2. Asparagus – Green – Fresh must have the tips cut off. Canned & frozen only with a reliable Hashgacha. 3. Asparagus – White- All are permissible without further checking after rinsing with water. Canned & frozen only with a reliable Hashgacha. 4.

As such, one should always make a cursory inspection of the barley before purchasing (if possible) and before use, the barley should be placed in a bowl of cold water for a short time to remove any possible insects. 5. Beans(Canned) - Requires a reliable hashgacha. 6. Beans (Green Beans and String Beans) Fresh - A general inspection is needed to rule out obvious infestation.All frozen are acceptable.

  • “I on Israel”. the Following Has Been Conceived As a “Shul-Based Blog”, for Lack of a Better Term
    Welcome to Young Israel of Woodmere presents: “I on Israel”. The following has been conceived as a “Shul-based Blog”, for lack of a better term. The articles we present will cover subjects such as: lesser known Israeli personalities, travel recommendations for both adults and children, holiday related events, and a review of Israeli lifestyle in all its manifestations, i.e. religious, secular, civilian, military, political and social. Most often our focus about Israel, resides around the familiar topics of Israeli versus Arab, Chareidi versus Dati Leumi versus Secular, and the Inbal versus the Citadel. I would like to promote Israel advocacy in our community thru a much simpler and more enjoyable prism. We should define Israel thru the events that distinguish Israel from any other location, and the people who make the country unique. The ability to say to our friends and co-workers, "this is what is really happening in Israel!" will be far more influential than any political discussion of the country's pros and cons. I have decided to call the newsletter, "I on Israel". 1) most articles will be written from a personal perspective 2) the similarity between "I" and "eye" 3) the combination of the words "I on" to "ion", originally coined from the Greek "to go" I hope that additional Young Israel of Woodmere members will contribute to future newsletters, or will suggest to their friends or relatives, especially those who are living in Israel, to write an article for this blog. We will also be soliciting some guest writers, or articles that have appeared in limited release in other publications.
